Will you be so good as to send me three copies of the "German Landlady,"
and "Gastein." I want to send them abroad. Now that the war
is over, I suppose there can be no difficulty about sending pamphlets
into Germany and France. I would like also six copies of my Verses. -

Illness and other causes have conspired to prevent me from writing any Book Notices for three months. But I hope now to be able to send them to you occasionally, and enclose with this, two, which have been written for some time.

I am going to the East to be absent some time but I shall be in the way of getting early copies of new books and will send you notices of them as often as I can.

Will you be so good as to see that two copies of every Tribune containing one of my papers, are mailed to me to the following address –

Mrs. Wm. S. Jackson
care Roberts Bros.
Boston.

I will be greatly obliged to you if you will give your personal attention to this. I was much annoyed last winter at not receiving the copies as promised.

Dear Sir,

I would be glad to see you in the course of today. I am ashamed to tell you what a silly thing I have done so I write it instead of having to tell you at first face to face. I believe I have poisoned myself with belladonna. I put a quantity of the [strong?] tincture on cotton wool and laid it [?] a [?] – never realizing that I should swallow it. Consequence: a sore throat. If you come over in a carriage which is roomy enough, would I be taxing your kindness too much to ask you to bring over my [Red Bud?] for the [prom?] afterwards? I found on Saturday that we had not room enough with our other things.
